Also called Red and Blue Against Yellow · Arguing Then Handshake · Common Enemy Comic
Red and blue argue until yellow joins in. Suddenly they shake hands. Give the first two characters opposing views, then add a third take they can both reject.
The new arrival creates agreement between people who were just fighting. Their original disagreement stays unresolved; they have found something else to object to together.
The third caption needs to be the turning point. A strange proposal or shared annoyance makes the handshake understandable without explaining it in the final panel.
Put the red character’s view in the first panel and the blue character’s view in the second. Add yellow’s contribution in the lower-left panel.
Read from left to right, then down. Leave the handshake clear in the last panel; it already shows the new alliance.
